Over the past twelve
months, the Court has continued to play a pivotal
role in the administration and protection of Māori
land interests across Aotearoa New Zealand,
focusing on three key priorities:
1.
This will also free
up judicial time for more complex matters before the Māori
Land Court.
Succession and descendants
Before
6 February 2021
A deceased landowners’ interest(s) in land pass to their
surviving spouse or partner even if the spouse or partner does
not whakapapa to the land.
Why make this change?
Succession to Māori land interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māori land is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).
Do not use macrons as they
may affect successful completion of the form.
Email your completed expression of interest to DRSexpressionofinterest@justice.govt.nz by 5:00pm
